AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE vs Intel Core 5 320 Comparison

AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE vs Intel Core 5 320

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark database contains a complete set of recorded performance scores for the Intel Core 5 320, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE currently has no individual benchmark entries. The available data therefore allows for a direct analysis of the Intel part against its nearest rivals, but not a direct score-for-score comparison between these two specific processors in any single test.

The Intel Core 5 320 delivers a Cinebench R23 multi-core score of 6197 and a single-core score of 1926. In Cinebench R20, the multi-core result is 5462 and the single-core result is 771. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 1054 multi-core and 276 single-core. These results indicate a processor that is competitive with mid-range desktop parts from previous generations, despite its mobile-oriented design.

PassMark results for the Intel Core 5 320 show a multi-thread score of 15450, a single-thread score of 4045, and an overall average benchmark score of 18023. The processor sits at the 72nd percentile among all CPUs in the database. Its nearest rival, the AMD Ryzen 5 1600, has an average score of 17994, placing the Intel part just 0.2 percent ahead. The Intel Core 5 120U scores 17898, which is 0.7 percent behind the Core 5 320, while the AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT scores 17891, also 0.7 percent behind. The Intel Core i5-1334U scores 18154, putting it 0.7 percent ahead of the Core 5 320.

In specific PassMark sub-tests, the Intel Core 5 320 shows distinct strengths. Its data compression score of 148779 indicates strong performance in workloads that benefit from high memory throughput and efficient instruction execution. Floating point math reaches 42440, while integer math reaches 32323. The random string sorting score is 18038, and extended instructions score 13262. Data encryption completes at 10984, and the physics test yields 1221. The find prime numbers test is notably lower at 110, which suggests that this particular workload does not align well with the processor's architecture.

The absence of benchmark data for the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE means that any direct head-to-head comparison of scores between the two parts is not possible from the recorded measurements. The database shows the Ryzen 7 5705GE at the 50th percentile among all CPUs, with an average benchmark score of zero, reflecting the lack of recorded tests. The Intel Core 5 320, by contrast, has a substantial set of results across multiple test suites.

The Verdict

The recorded data supports different conclusions for different usage contexts. The Intel Core 5 320, with its 72nd percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 18023, demonstrates measurable performance that places it just ahead of the AMD Ryzen 5 1600 and Ryzen 5 3600XT, and just behind the Intel Core i5-1334U. The delta percentages against these rivals are small, ranging from 0.7 percent ahead to 0.7 percent behind, indicating a tightly competitive field.

The AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE, at the 50th percentile with no recorded benchmark scores, cannot be positioned against the Intel part based on measured performance. The database shows no test results for the AMD processor, so any judgment must rely on architectural specifications rather than empirical data.

For users selecting based on core count and thread count, the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE offers 8 cores and 16 threads, which suggests an advantage in heavily parallel workloads. The Intel Core 5 320 offers 6 cores and 6 threads, which limits its multi-threaded capacity. However, the Intel part operates at a 15 watt thermal design power, less than half the 35 watt rating of the AMD part, making it suitable for low-power mobile systems.

The Intel Core 5 320 supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X memory with a higher memory bandwidth of 59.7 GB/s, despite using a single-channel bus. The AMD part uses dual-channel DDR4 with 51.2 GB/s bandwidth. The Intel part also provides PCIe Gen 4 connectivity, though with fewer lanes (6 versus 16). The AMD part uses PCIe Gen 3.

The launch MSRP of the Intel Core 5 320 is $340. No launch MSRP is recorded for the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE.

The choice between these processors depends on the priority given to power efficiency, memory type, core count, and recorded performance data. The Intel part has a complete benchmark record and a high percentile ranking. The AMD part has a more robust core and thread configuration, a larger L3 cache, and an unlocked multiplier, but lacks recorded performance scores in the database. The data indicates that the Intel Core 5 320 is a capable performer in its measured tests, while the AMD Ryzen 7 5705GE remains an unquantified option with strong theoretical specifications.
